Supporting our Young Veteran's

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD: RADM JAMES (JIM) SYMONDS, US NAVY (RET.)

Rear Admiral Jim Symonds was a Naval Aviator and ship’s captain. He commanded Attack Squadron ONE SIX FIVE at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, flying the A-6 Intruder; USS NASHVILLE (LPD 13), an amphibious ship; and USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76), one of our nuclear aircraft carriers. His last assignment was as Commander, Navy Region Northwest, in Silverdale, Washington. Upon retirement from the Navy in 2010, he and his wife, Anne, moved to Arizona. Rear Admiral Symonds feels a commitment to our young combat Veterans is necessary and worthy. He has been on the Board of Veterans 360 for 18 months, and is currently on the board of one other veterans assistance group, Operation American Patriot, in Arizona. Operation American Patriot is a strategic partner with Veterans 360 in meeting the challenge of assisting our returning combat Veterans transition to normal lives in the civilian world.

Rear Admiral Symonds retired from the Navy on 1 September 2010, and with his wife, Anne, resides in Chandler, Arizona.

“Our young combat veterans have fought to safeguard our nation. They deserve our continuing support, and I want to help them.”
